Qian Xunji Arrives, The Secret of Whale Rubber

Time flowed like water, and five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside a magnificent palace within Martial Soul Hall.

"Lord Holy Son, there is news regarding your disciples," a voice suddenly echoed from the shadows.

Immediately, a ghostly figure appeared before Qian Xunji, who was busy handling official affairs.

"Oh?" Qian Xunji raised an eyebrow and took the information handed over by the ghostly figure.

"Whale Rubber? Why would Lin Fan need such a thing?"

"And this child Bibi Dong, to be so inattentive during her theory classes."

Looking at the information in his hand, Qian Xunji's brows furrowed tightly.

The two disciples he had taken in were truly causing him no end of worry.

One needed Whale Rubber at such a young age, while the other was always sleeping in class!

Qian Xunji naturally knew exactly what Whale Rubber was!

However, upon seeing the information below, the corners of Qian Xunji's mouth couldn't help but lift slightly. "The two little ones are performing increasingly well in their combat classes."

"Hm? This is somewhat abnormal; their rate of progress is far too fast!"

As he read further, Qian Xunji's expression turned to one of shock, for the training volume of the two in combat class was constantly increasing—and not just by a little, but by several percentage points at a time!

At their current training volume, even some genuine one-ring beast soul masters might not be able to complete it!

Seeing this, Qian Xunji already knew there was a secret hidden within.

Qian Xunji stood up, and his Six-Winged Angel manifested behind him.

Flapping those three pairs of holy wings, Qian Xunji flew toward Martial Soul Academy!

Martial Soul Academy.

On a certain training ground, the figures of Lin Fan and Bibi Dong were engaged in running drills.

Bound to their legs were four objects resembling sandbags.

These four sandbag-like items were actually simple Soul Tools! They could be adjusted for weight to achieve a training effect.

In this era, Soul Tools were not widespread, but some simple ones could still be manufactured.

"Senior Brother, what lap is this?" Bibi Dong asked, panting slightly, her face flushed.

"The eighth lap, seven more to go," Lin Fan replied, his tone full of ease.

Not far away, the combat instructor, Teacher Xu, seeing that the two still appeared so relaxed, began to formulate a plan to increase the training intensity once again.

In just a few short days, the physical fitness of Bibi Dong and Lin Fan had changed as if they had been reborn; it was literally different every single day!

At this rate, even some two-ring Soul Grand Masters might not be able to compare to them.

Suddenly, gusts of wind blew, kicking up dust from the ground.

Teacher Xu looked up abruptly and saw Qian Xunji, flapping his three pairs of holy golden wings, descending slowly from the high sky like an angel arriving. The sacred aura surrounding him rushed forth, making one involuntarily feel a sense of awe.

"Holy Son," Teacher Xu said respectfully.

Qian Xunji nodded indifferently and then asked, "How much training do they have left?"

"Reporting to the Holy Son, Bibi Dong has seven laps left to finish this stage of training, and Lin Fan has twelve laps left."

Teacher Xu replied.

"Then I shall wait," Qian Xunji said calmly, his golden wings slowly retracting as the aura around him returned to stillness.

On the way here, Qian Xunji had thought it through; there was no need to be impatient.

The secret behind this was known only to Lin Fan and Bibi Dong.

Although he did not know why their physical fitness was improving so rapidly, since only the two of them knew, why should he be anxious?

Moreover, Qian Xunji was now observing carefully to see exactly how their training was going!

As their teacher, he hadn't come to see these two newly accepted disciples for several days!

At the same time, the virtual screen before Lin Fan suddenly surged, and the subtitles indicating the sources of his emotional points flashed by rapidly.

"Positive emotional points (curiosity) from Qian Xunji +502"
"Positive emotional points from Qian Xunji +380"
"Positive emotional points from Xu Ran +333"
...

Upon noticing this, Lin Fan looked toward the area where everyone was training.

The next moment, the figure of Qian Xunji came into view!

"It's Teacher," Lin Fan said.

Hearing this, Bibi Dong turned her head and saw Qian Xunji watching them with a faint smile on his face.

"Senior Brother, Teacher has come to see us!" Bibi Dong said with a hint of delight, even increasing her running speed slightly.

"No rush, keep a steady rhythm," Lin Fan reminded her.

Having said that, Lin Fan increased his speed a little more.

Because at this moment, his physical fitness was naturally superior to that of Bibi Dong.

Although Bibi Dong had also consumed Whale Rubber under Lin Fan's recommendation.

However, one must know that Lin Fan possessed the Demon Element!

The Demon Element would continuously enhance his physical fitness, and he was far from reaching his limit!

Whale Rubber could only be used once, in a sufficient amount.

If it weren't for the fact that Lin Fan and Bibi Dong had consumed too little, their bodies would likely have reached saturation after just one dose.

Before long, Bibi Dong and Lin Fan had finished their weighted running training.

"Teacher!" Lin Fan and Bibi Dong arrived before Qian Xunji and bowed respectfully.

Qian Xunji nodded in satisfaction. From his observations just now, he noticed that although the two were slightly out of breath, their movements showed they were far from reaching their limits.

Of course, there were still training plans to be completed later, so it was normal that they hadn't reached their limits yet.

"Follow me," Qian Xunji said, walking toward a pavilion.

Hearing this, Lin Fan and Bibi Dong exchanged a glance and followed him.

After entering the pavilion and sitting down, Qian Xunji finally spoke, "Xiao Fan, Dong'er, I am aware of your situation over the past few days."

"Do you know why I have come to find you?"

"Teacher, could it be because of the Whale Rubber?" Lin Fan asked directly.

Bibi Dong, on the other hand, took a nervous step back, clutching the hem of her skirt tightly as she hid behind Lin Fan, fearing that her sleeping in class would be brought up.

Seeing this, Qian Xunji nodded, "In a way, yes. Xiao Fan, tell me, why did you have Dean Zhu buy this Whale Rubber?"

Qian Xunji understood very well that at Lin Fan's age, it was impossible for him to meet the requirements for using Whale Rubber.

Therefore, there could only be one answer: Lin Fan had another use for the Whale Rubber!

"Teacher, I saw in an ancient book that Whale Rubber has some special properties..."

Lin Fan began, his tone full of sincerity.

To ensure there were no loopholes, Lin Fan had spent two days studying in the library after leaving the Mimicry Training Ground.

Lin Fan recited the story he had fabricated, placing emphasis on explaining the effects of the Whale Rubber.

Hearing Lin Fan's explanation, Qian Xunji's eyes were filled with admiration, and even shock!

Qian Xunji had never imagined that his disciple would be so studious!

Furthermore, he had actually discovered and unlocked such important information!

Yes, in Lin Fan's explanation, it was a process of deduction, followed by experimentation, and finally trial! The fact that Whale Rubber could improve physical fitness was something Lin Fan had discovered himself!

After all, in this era, no one had yet discovered that Whale Rubber could be used to alter physical fitness!

"Xiao Fan, is what you say true? Is it really because you consumed Whale Rubber that your physical fitness has undergone such a massive change?"

Qian Xunji looked at Lin Fan in disbelief, his eyes filled with both scrutiny and joy!

Hearing this, Lin Fan smiled slightly and replied, "Teacher, Junior Sister is right here; why don't you just ask her?"

As soon as he finished speaking, before Qian Xunji could even ask, Bibi Dong stepped out from behind Lin Fan, "Teacher, what Senior Brother said is all true!"

"It is precisely because we consumed the Whale Rubber that our physical fitness has changed so drastically!"
